That malady led the New England Patriots to deactivate their starting running back last week against the Houston Texans, but NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Media's Albert Breer reported Sunday that Ridley will be active. The team later confirmed it.

Ridley has a shot to "start crawling his way out of Bill Belichick's doghouse," Rapoport said on NFL Network's "NFL GameDay First," per a source informed of the team's plans.

1. Lions running back Reggie Bush reportedly slipped on the icy field in Philadelphia during Sunday's pregame warm-ups and might have aggravated the calf injury that bothered him earlier in the week, per WXYT-FM in Detroit. Bush was surrounded by trainers and began the game on the sideline. The Lions later announced he's questionable to return because of the calf injury. If Reggie can't go -- a crushing development for fantasy owners, not to mention his real team -- Joique Bell will see major work against the Eagles.

4. NFL Media's Stacey Dales was told by a Falcons team source that tight end Tony Gonzalez was expected to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers -- and he will. Gonzalez is active after being listed as questionable with a toe injury.
